Palmwag Airport is a small, unpaved airstrip located in the remote Palmwag concession area of northwestern Namibia, in the Kunene Region. It primarily serves the Palmwag Lodge and nearby ecotourism operations, providing essential air access to one of Africa's largest and most pristine wilderness areas. The airstrip is used predominantly by charter and light aircraft, connecting visitors to this remote desert region where road travel can be lengthy and difficult.

There are no scheduled commercial airline services operating from Palmwag. The facility is a basic bush airstrip without formal terminal infrastructure, typical of remote safari destinations in Namibia.
